Nice work with the welding! 
Wire wheels are awful sometimes. I get my pantlegs and shoelaces caught in those stupid things. Also Roundys bags with chairman bobs face on them. 


Rock Auto has a Delphi universal sensor for $38 in case you cant find it cheaper elsewhere.

ok well i havnt posted in a while since i have had to deal with not having any money and trying to get my new job and school set up. since i last posted i took out my steering column and linkage and found out that my linkage was in bad shape.

i saw that people would replace the rivets with bolts, so i did the same

i used some grade 8 bolts and nuts with loctite and lock washers.i haven't drove it far but so far it has held up pretty well. 

 

i also took my ABS out and ran all new brake lines. 

 

i got a new cheap seat for free from a friend and also a seat belt from my dads friend.

i made my own seat bracket to hold the new seat and i welded the seat in the car.

the seat belt is from R.J.S. racing. i got it because it is expired, according to SFI standards.

i installed it but i will be getting or attempting to make a harness bar to attach the shoulder straps. for now i have them bolted them to the rear seat belt anchor.
